IMPROVEMENT IN LOOKING-GLASSES.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 131,665, datedSeptember 24,1872.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE H. GHINNooK,

of Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Looking-Glasses and I do herebydeclare that the following is a full, clear, and exact descriptionthereof, that will enable others skilled in the art to which itappertains to make and use the same, reference being had to theaccompanying drawing and to the letters of reference marked thereonwhich form a part of this specification.

This invention relates to that class of articles known as toilet-glassesused for shaving, dressing, and like purposes, which are sup ported by apedestal, and are adjustable in all directions; and it consists in themanner of constructing the swivels or joints so that uniform pressurewill at all times be made 'upon the journals, causing the glass toremain to the frame of the glass by screws or otherwise. This bracket isprovided with journals a, which turn in suitable bearings in the arms B.B B are two horizontal arms, having bearings at one end for journals aof bracket A,

and at the other end bulged or curved to form, when united, a ring orbearing, C. These arms are held together by a screw, D, which may be anordinary screw, as shown in the drawing, or a thumb-screw. Over thejournals a,

and between the bearing-surface of the bracket when the arms are drawntoward each other by tightening screw D. D is a screw for uniting thetwo arms, by means of which the arms may be brought as close to eachother as is necessary. E is arod or upright projecting from the top ofthe pedestal F. It may be shouldered or slightly tapering, if desired.Over this rod passes the ring (J, formed by the union of arms B B. Thering corresponds with the taper of rod E so that they will bindsufficiently to prevent accidental movement of the parts upon oneanother.

By the devices above described I am enabled to move the glass in anydirection without wearing or injuring the joint, and can fix it securelyat any angle desired.

What I claim as my invention is-- The bracket A, provided with journalsa, in combination with the horizontal arms B B, adjusting-screw D, withor without an interposed elastic washer, as set forth.

In evidence that I claim the aboveI hereunto I set myhand this 19th dayof June, A. D. 1872.
